Addressing a COM port from Python

[Doru-Catalin Togea]

Hi!

I am writing some tests and I need to place calls through the modem. Is
there an API for addressing the COM ports on my machine, so that I can
issue AT-commands to the modem?

If this can not be done from Python, I am sure it can be done from
C/C++/Java. Any tutorials/examples that you know of? Maybe calling C from
Python?

I am working on Win XP Pro, with Activestate Python 2.4.

Thanks,
Catalin
